Lemon Hart 151 Demerara Rum

"Born in 1768, Lehmynn Hart inherited the spirits business his grandfather started in 1720. In the late 18th century, he was appointed one of the first rum suppliers to the Royal Navy after the Royal Navy began blending rum as part of the sailors daily ration. In 1804, the Lemon Hart Rum Company was established in London near the London Docks. Today, it is one of the most respected producers in the world. "Distilled in Guyana from fermented molasses, Lemon Hart 151 is a caramel-colored, aged, overproof rum used in many tiki cocktails. Heavier than El Dorado's 151 clear, High Strength Rum, Lemon Hart 151 isn't for the casual drinker. Hints of burnt caramel, dark fruit and ripe banana are a preview to the heavy, complex taste with layers of cinnamon, dark raisin, dried apricot and baked apples. Best used in moderation as a float in cocktails." -The Importer
